are calculated with mBJ+SOC for the correction of value of the bandgap relative to experimental value of
MAPI. Values of direct bandgap at 𝛤 -point are 1.817 eV for Cs2 LiTlBr6 and 1.827 eV for Cs2 NaTlBr6 that are
close to the bandgap of 1.55 eV of parent organic–inorganic perovskite CH3 NH3 PbI3 (MAPI). Effective mass of
electron (m*𝑒 ) for Cs2 LiTlBr6 and Cs2 NaTlBr6 are 0.671 and 0.724 respectively which are less than that of Si
(1.09). Therefore it is expected that the carrier mobility of both materials is greater than Si. In order to study
the contribution of orbits of Cs, Li, Na, Tl and Br close by the Fermi level, we examined the total and partial
density of states. The optical properties were study to investigate the absorption coefficient of both materials.
Studies of the thermodynamics and elastic characteristics along with phonon dispersion confirms that these
two materials are stable. Because of stable, direct bandgap and a value of the bandgap closer as MAPI the
materials Cs2 LiTlBr6 and Cs2 NaTlBr6 are significant competitors in the world of photovoltaic solar cells.

materials shows very large bandgap and not suitable for solar cell
applications.
We expanded our further study to focus only on Cs2 LiTlBr6 and
Cs2 NaTlBr6 compounds. We computed values of the bandgap for both
materials with and without SOC as given in Fig. 3. Values of the
bandgap for Cs2 LiTlBr6 without SOC is 0.654 eV (black color) and with
SOC is 0.561 eV (red color) as shown in Fig. 3(a). While for Cs2 NaTlBr6
the bandgap value without SOC is 0.573 (black color) and with SOC is
0.490 eV (red color) as shown in Fig. 3(b). We observed a small re-
duction in the bandgap value up to 93 meV and 83 meV for Cs2 LiTlBr6
and Cs2 NaTlBr6 respectively by applying SOC. After that, band struc-
tures for Cs2 LiTlBr6 and Cs2 NaTlBr6 are calculated with mBJ+SOC
(see Fig. 4(a,b)). For Cs2 LiTlBr6 and Cs2 NaTlBr6 the calculated direct
bandgap values are 1.817 eV and 1.827 eV, respectively.
The bandgap values of Cs2 LiTlBr6 and Cs2 NaTlBr6 are closer to
the experimentally calculated values of CH3 NH3 PbI3 (Cl, Br). For the
bandgap range between 1.0 and 1.7 eV we can make an efficient
semiconductor solar. In this range of the bandgap, electrons can be
released without producing huge amount of heat. Although the recently
studied double perovskite has a direct bandgap and the bandgap value
exceeds the range 9 . While other have values of the bandgap within the
mentioned range, although nature of the bandgap is indirect therefore
is not suitable for solar cell applications. further, pressure-induced
bandgap tuning can be possible to get bandgap close to 1.5 eV.
For capable electronic and optoelectronic devices high carrier mo-
bility is strongly demanded [36]. Transport of charge carriers is greater
because of smaller effective mass. Effective mass of MAPI is less than
0.2 m𝑒 and its carrier mobility is less than 100 cm2 V−1 s−1 which
is modest compared to traditional semi- conductors like GaAs or Si
(> 1000 cm2 V−1 s−1 ) [37,38]. In perovskite solar cell the effective
mass of MAPI can lead to am-bipolar conductivity and it promotes the
p–i–n junction solar cell [39]. Basically there are two types of charge
carriers i.e electrons and holes. We indicated both of them separately
in our study. The electron’s effective mass (m*𝑒 ) and hole’s effective
mass (m*ℎ ) for both Cs2 LiTlBr6 and Cs2 NaTlBr6 without SOC, with SOC
and with mBJ+SOC are given in Table 2. It is clear from Table 2 that
(m*𝑒 ) of Cs2 LiTlBr6 and Cs2 NaTlBr6 are 0.671 and 0.724 respectively

of Young modulus (Y) and shear modulus (G𝐻 ) verifies that it offers
greater resistance against the plastic deformation and it is stiffer as
compared to Cs2 NaTlBr6 . B/G (Pugh ratio) indicates materials’s ductile
and brittle behavior [47]. From Table 3 it is clear that for both
materials the B/G ratio is larger than 1.75 (critical value) therefore
these materials are ductile. The positive or negative values of Cauchy’s
pressure (C∕∕ = C12 − C44 ) also indicates the ductile or brittle nature
of materials. Thus positive value of C∕∕ (in Table 3) also indicate the
ductility of Cs2 LiTlBr6 and Cs2 NaTlBr6 .
Poisson’s ratio (𝜈) indicates the crystal’s stability against compress-
